Notes About The Poem

Joy Beyond Compare




Through the hesitant gaze of a man I know
I saw the silence of a prayer, quiet and reflective
Among the seeds of grace, his hope would surely flow

Through the silent tears that come to those who believe
What came to us that Christmas night, all those years past
Wrote the story on our hearts – this story can still relieve

Through the gestures of a soft, warm light
Flowing down from heavenly realms
I found the wonder of a starlit night…

When God promised the world He had a plan
And the Savior was born in a stable,
Where He’s come to help us all understand

God Himself wrote the light in the sky
And offered us His Son to save us from hell
It’s enough love to make the soul sigh

And the devil can’t keep us away from the One
Who’s still writing our story in the light of the moon
And who frees every sinner with grace that will stun

He is the Savior and the love that He gave us all
Is a love beyond comparing – it is love that abides
Through all the storms of this life, and when we call…

He’s always available to offer us the light
And still the darkness with His amazing love
Thank God I know the One who makes my heart right

With Him beside me, I never need to fear
He rights the whole world before I even pray
He is the amazing in each heartfelt tear

With Him, I never doubt that I do have a prayer
And whatever comes in this life, I believe
He is the reason for his joy that’s beyond compare!
